I start in the fall too. I received this package of paperwork to be completed and have a question about the one that goes to the Health Center. Do we really need to find our immunization records and send them in? I was immunized YEARS ago and really don't feel like looking for that paperwork.

Things to consider:Are you disciplined?Would you wake up and get to the train or leave in time to get to class ON TIME?etc etc....

I would recommend for those that can't wake up and get to school on time (b/c HUSL has an attendance policy and they will use it! I came uncomfortably close to getting an F before taking the exam - trust me... that was not fun!):

Connecticut AveAnywhere around American UNW DC between 11 and 14th StreetsAnywhere on the red line... no more that three stops

For those with some disciplineTry NE DC near Catholic UDeeper in NWSilver Spring (I think this would be my new home.)

NOTE TO ALL: Try and stay off the highways...

COMPUTERSI had a Dell... I got rid of it and I will be getting a MACIf you want to have wireless connectivitiy through out the school make sure your laptop is wireless capable.I would recommend getting a laptop... it is very convenient.You can go really cheap... Dell has a great sale going on.If your laptop does not have wireless it is okay... just make sure you have an ethernet cord.Even if your laptop has wireless still get an ethernet cord. Don't over spend!

My Dell was too heavy and because I will be doing a lot! next year I decided I needed something light and powerful.

Make a great buy... think long term... and also think about moving around with the laptop from class to class if you intend to use it to take notes (like I do).

BEFORE YOU START!

SLEEEPPPPPPPPPPPSLeep some more....

and then when you get tired sleep some more again....You will need it...

I would not do an English Basement because as a woman, I don't feel safe on the bottom floor. If you feel secure, then do it. You can usually find really good deals on those kinds of apartments.

Pick up one of the Apartment Guides at the grocery store or metro station if you can. Also, check the Washington Post and apartments.com. I live over by Catholic U on the Red line. PM me if you want details about places in my area. You will definitely have to get up early to get to HU from there...but I am ok with that.

I wonder if there are parking garages by the school. HUSL2007???

Are the exams on the computer? Did you have a problem with using a Mac? I am computer shopping right now and have no clue of what to do!!!

thanks!

It was some what of a hassle to get my records since I'm in MD now and all my shots were done in MS, but I was able to get copies rather quickly from my high school and county health dept. I just have to get some recent immunizations. I will probably go to the Howard Health Center.

I can't verify if it is mandatory, but I think you should probably be there since a lot of things will take place there such as completing registration and ID pics. Also, you get to meet other students before class start. There is this pinning ceremony that will probably be on the Friday too. When do you get to DC?
